On November 9, 2022, at 12pm EST, I will present a webinar hosted by Untapped New York about the many monogrammed buildings constructed by my Paterno family. Details and registration link are below. Hope to see you there!
THE PATERNO FAMILY: THE IMMIGRANT LINEAGE THAT HELPED BUILD UPPER MANHATTAN
The Paterno family monogrammed most of the apartment houses they built with treasured Manhattan architects Gaetan Ajello and Rosario Candela. Why? Let’s explore that question as we take a virtual tour around the Upper West Side and Upper East Side visiting the nearly 40 Paterno family structures that are adorned with various letters of the alphabet.
On November 9, join Untapped New York Insiders for a members-only virtual tour of the nearly 40 Paterno family structures with the great-granddaughter of Dr. Charles V. Paterno, Carla Golden. The event is free for Untapped New York Insiders (get your first month free with code JOINUS).
On the tour, we will discover the first Paterno building to showcase a monogram. As the tour continues, we will learn what effect brotherly competition had on the use of multiple monograms per building and which family member was the only one to employ un-matching monograms. Later, we will uncover which family members combined their initials to make a completely cryptic monogram and who thought it would be a good idea to stick his face on his building instead of a monogram.
